Two days after Seth MacFarlane’s Oscars, the reviews of his performance range from “at least he was better than James Franco” to “but seriously, he was still way better than James Franco.” Does this encouraging feedback mean that MacFarlane would risk further criticism to perform the thankless task of hosting the 2014 Academy Awards, perhaps even crafting a sequel to the critically detested “Boob Song” and slightly less critically detested Captain Kirk–intro device?

Judging by his comments on Monday, no. When asked if he would M.C. the Academy Awards again, theFamily Guy creator responded, “No way. Lotta fun to have done it, though.” (Proving that he did have at least one positive review, MacFarlane also posted a photo of his cat along with the tweet: “My cat said the show went well.”) Other fans may still hold out hope, however: “no way” may have been said out of exhaustion from hosting the three-hour-plus show and then, as if that weren’t enough, performing at his own after-party, where MacFarlane crooned “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” “Luck Be a Lady Tonight,” and other songs for guests, all with a 72-piece orchestra.

It bears noting that regardless of the negative reviews, ratings for the telecast were still up by 3 percent and by 11 percent among adults aged 18 to 49. Still, it may be best for us to assume that MacFarlane won’t attempt Billy Crystal–ian back-to-back hosting tours, and to begin campaigning for Poehler/Fey or Nicholson/Lawrence to host next year’s Academy Awards.
